Wow, #cisco reckon a #Google #LLM driven web search consumes ten times more electricity than a traditional Google search 😳
Given how much they’re pushing #AI themselves, I think it’s significant that they didn’t say “AI search”, but LLM. Can’t tarnish the product your colleagues are trying to flog in the next room
(I’m in a datacentre sustainability session, btw)
